2023 HALL The North End Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 North End opens with inviting aromas of cassis, ripe plum and spice. On the palate this wine is rich, with layered, silky tannin that leads into a full and decadent expression of mocha-laced blackberry, cardamom, and crushed rock. Every vintage our North End blend showcases the rich and opulent side of Napa Cabernet.

| Vintage Notes | The 2023 growing season was all about patience. A very long, wet winter replenished the soils and filled our reservoirs. Cooler spring weather delayed budbreak and the start of the growing season by several weeks. Late spring saw moderate warmth and led to substantial canopy growth, as well as a healthy crop load on the vines. Mild, warm temperatures created perfect ripening conditions throughout the summer and early fall. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to reach optimum ripeness, and resulted in a superb vintage that is fresh, full of flavor, with great balance and fruit density. |
